The R Word: Understanding the Seven Kinds of Rivalries in College Football
Today is the day that my University of Colorado Buffaloes head down to Mile High to take on the Rams of Colorado State in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. I’m sure several dozen CSU fans will be breaking out their green and gold overalls and doing some tailgating, although I’m not sure how that’s going to [...]

Time for some straight talk on the NFL’s top faith-based quarterback
This just in:
CBS Sports game analyst Randy Cross believes Tebow haters are bashing him for his outspoken Christian opinions.
“People, especially the media, root against him because of what he stands for,” said Cross.
The 3-time Super Bowl champ added: “My personal belief is there are people in the media, people in the stands, who are predisposed [...]
An open letter to LeBron James from America: let’s get back together
Dear LeBron:
The WWE, Hollywood, soap operas and the NBA front office have something in common: they all understand that a compelling narrative requires what the pro wrestling biz calls a “heel.” A bad guy. An anti-hero. A villain. A black hat. The only thing different about the NBA is that they won’t admit they’re in [...]

Panama 2, USA 1: ANALYSIS – is it time for Bradley to go?
The US soccer team just dropped a 2-1 decision to Panama in the second group stage match of the 2011 Gold Cup. To say the game was frustrating to watch is to understate the case, and with some panache.
Despite an appalling first half, the Americans certainly had their chances to draw even and win the [...]

What if we hired a war criminal to “clean up” FIFA? Sepp Blatter has a plan
Every once in awhile a story comes along where it’s impossible to fathom what the fuck somebody could possibly be thinking. Usually it’s something political, but today it’s sports.
In case you haven’t been tracking along, FIFA, the governing body of world soccer, has been swamped with corruption allegations of late. It began with the decision [...]

Is ref Danny Crawford biased against the Dallas Mavericks? And why isn’t the NBA smart enough to run basic statistical analyses?
The NBA assigned referee Danny Crawford to work tonight’s Dallas Mavericks/Portland Trailblazers game, touching off a series of galloping hissy fits across Greater East Texas/Shreveport metropolitan area. The reason for the unhappiness can be found in this paragraph. See if you can spot it.
The Mavs have a 2-16 record in playoff games officiated by Crawford, [...]

The UConn/Butler trainwreck proves it: we need to be done with one-and-done
Last night’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game doesn’t get a recap. It gets a post-mortem. I won’t mince words – it was the worst championship game I can recall seeing in my lifetime. Hell, it was one of the worst college basketball games I’ve ever seen, period. That may be because when games get this [...]
